Ajman 7 1/2 riyals Endangered Wildlife Gazelle Fauna PR66 PCGS silver coin 1970

The Ajman 7½ Riyals silver coin of 1970 is a stunning numismatic issue combining political portraiture with wildlife symbolism. Struck in proof quality, this commemorative coin is graded PR66DCAM by PCGS, offering deep cameo contrast and remarkable detail. On the obverse, it presents a finely engraved portrait of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, the Ruler of Ajman, framed by inscriptions in both Arabic and English that honor his leadership.

The reverse side celebrates the theme of Endangered Wildlife, depicting a graceful gazelle standing proudly at the center. Surrounding inscriptions include the denomination 7½ Riyals and Government of Ajman & Its Dep., along with elegant Arabic script. The design not only highlights the emirate’s identity but also reflects an awareness of nature conservation, unusual for coinage of that period.

This coin belongs to the broader series of Ajman’s silver issues of the late 1960s and early 1970s, which combined themes of leadership, culture, and fauna. Its rarity, proof strike, and PCGS certification make it a valuable piece for collectors of Middle Eastern numismatics, wildlife themes, and silver commemoratives.
